“"Timna, a princess of Hor, yearned to join the tribe of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but they did not accept her."”

A striking visual adaptation of Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin 99b, this issue tells the poignant story of Timna, a princess of Hor who longs to join the tribe of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—only to be turned away. Through powerful imagery by J. T. Waldman, whose art and Hebrew calligraphy bring ancient text to life, and English lettering by Elisha Solmes, the narrative explores themes of belonging, rejection, and consequence.
